Social Media Round-Up: Family, Friends, and Fellow Olympians
'Twas the night before event finals and Rio is buzzing. With gymnasts from all countries exploring Rio and spending time with friends, family and fellow Olympians, there has been plenty to check out on social media. Here is some of today's top posts!

Family time has been popular for every gymnast. Simone's squad is one of the biggest we've seen!



Gabby and her mom...could they get any cuter?!



The whole Downie squad is in the building!



Laurie Hernandez got some FaceTiming in.



If the gymnasts aren't hanging with their parents, they seem to be hanging with each other (or Rio mascot Vinicius)

Shallon Olsen and Eythora Thorsdottir. 



Russian duo Seda Tutkhalyan and Angelina Melnikova.



Catalina Ponor and her new pal!



Team Brazil getting in some quality R&R.



Celine van Gerner caught some field hockey action this afternoon. Always good to see those athletes supporting one another!



Simone just lending a helping hand, no big deal.



Even the boys were hanging out before their big day in event finals. Team Great Britain cheering on their trampoline superstar Nathan Bailey.



More of Team Great Britain looking spiffy on their day off!



If you haven't had the time to read Brittany Rogers' post from today, give it a read. She deserves more than a round of applause!



Another day, another dozen celebrity shout outs for Simone and the #FinalFive.

G-Eazy? Twice? Sure thing. 




Zach Braff in awe of Aly.



Another exciting day of Olympic gymnastics action coming at you in less than 24 hours!
